Hi there,
Been trying a few different things but I thought i'd ask on here.
I live in a flat with 4 other people.
We have about 14 devices (Playstations, Xboxes, Laptops, Iphones, TVs etc).
I am currently using a Netcomm Wireless router provided by my ISP, linked to a Netcomm 5-port Switch, Which connects to the upstairs dynalink rta1025w router ( used for extended wireless coverage).
I am the only one using a Wired in desktop PC, everybody else uses wireless.
I have been told that the router is basically junk and that it will not support 12 devices and after a while it will overheat.
PROBLEM:
At about 10pm every night (round abouts) the internet stops working. DSL light flashes and I have to reboot the modem. It's not a big issue but kind of annoying if your in the middle of streaming a movie or playing a game. I'm almost sure its not a router conflict as the upstairs router has DHCP disabled and is running on a different channel to the main router (and different to all the neighbours as well).
Does anyone have any suggestions as to why the D/C occurs, and also a reccomendation for a decent router that will support that many devices which will not require me to sell my soul
Thanks in advance!
